Bet 1 - Sell Paul Goydos over Charley Hoffman 18H MB at 2 with Sporting Index / Bet HiLo for 0.3 Pts M/U 13, Loss 3.3 Pts
Both these players have entered the winner's circle this year on the PGA tour but when you examine all results it seems strange that Sporting have made Goydos favourite and by as much as 2 points. H2H's sees Hoffman win 28 of the 49 rounds they have played in the same event since early 06' and in tournament match-ups, Hoffman leads by 10-6. The price is high because Goydos finished 2nd here in 2006 but this event is now played as part of the Florida swing, and we have to appreciate that golf in Florida in October is not the same as golf in March. 

Bet 2 - Sell Chad Campbell over Bart Bryant 72H MB at 0.25 with Sporting Index / Bet HiLo for 0.6 Pts M/U -18, Profit 10.95 Pts
Average start to the year for Campbell with finishes of 46/cut/cut/77 and he is paired in a 72H MB with Bryant who this year has form figures of 13/cut/7/4/18 in 5 stroke-play events. I reckon Bryant should be the favourite in this match-up and believe the only reason he isn't is Campbell's 4th in the Matchplay, which isn't sufficient reasoning for the price.

Bet 3 - Sell Chad Campbell over Robert Gamez 18H MB at 7 with Sporting Index / Bet HiLo for 0.3 Pts M/U -13, Profit 6 Pts
No reason not to oppose Campbell in his 2 ball tomorrow against Gamez. His stats above show a poor start to the year and R1 H2Hs against Gamez in the last year show an average M/U of 4 in 22 matches in which Campbell only won 50%.

Bet 4 - Sell Kevin Stadler over Stephen Marino 18H MB at -1.5 with IG Sport for 0.3 Pts M/U 0, Loss 0.45 Pts
H2H's show a large lead for Marino in events played both on this tour and on the Nationwide, 10-3 overall and 5 out of 6 with 1 tie on this tour this year. Marino also sits with a current record of 8/20 in the last two weeks whereas Stadler in those events finished 13/53. Purely on 2007 form Marino should be a clear favourite.

Bet 5 - Sell Troy Matteson over Vaughn Taylor 18H MB at -1.5 with IG Sport for 0.3 Pts M/U 0, Loss 0.45 Pts
A 10-7 lead in H2H's and noticeably a slightly better R1 only lead of 10-5-2 for Taylor over Matteson and a winner in their last 2 events they both participated in.
